Happy Samhain from Scotland. ( Pronounced Sow-wen )

As autumn descends and the nights grow colder, the ancient festival of Samhain approaches, celebrated from October 31st to November 1st.

At this time, the veil between the mortal realm and the world of spirits is thinnest, allowing for the return of those from the 'Otherworld'.

The visitors from beyond the veil are known to be unpredictable and mischievous, playing tricks on those who cross their path.

Leaving offerings, often small portions of food or drink, became a ritual to ensure the fairies were appeased and their tricks kept at bay.

This tradition reflects the reverence—and healthy caution—that people held toward these otherworldly beings, whose influence was especially potent during this liminal time.

Our wonderful folklore and ancient beliefs are intertwined with our modern lives here in Scotland, and you don't have to delve too deep to find evidence of this.

Happy Halloween to you all, and have a wonderful time celebrating an ancient tradition wherever you are in the world.

Have a Spooky & spiritual Samhain 🙂

A very happy Burns Night to you all.
Wherever you are in the World, there is a very good chance you have sung or spoken words penned by Robert Burns, our National Bard.
My Dad wrote “Robert Burns for Beginners” to introduce Burns to young and old alike. “Liberty’s in every blow! Let us do or dee." Robert Burns

Today marks the annual celebration of Burns Night, when people around the world remember the famous Scottish poet Robert Burns. The date is also the anniversary of his birth in 1759.

If you would like to find out more about the bard's life and work, our Robert Burns for Beginners book is a great read.

Huge trees tower over the paths leading to the roaring Black Linn Falls, where the River Braan crashes down into the deep, foaming pools below. Overlooking the waterfall is the picturesque folly built in the mid 1700's.
Decorated with mirrors, sliding panels and paintings, it has been refurbished to re-create the illusions of shock, surprise and amazement that were the aims of the folly’s original design.
A very special landscape that is the perferct spot to contemplate the roaring, tumbling falls and legends. https://scottishguidedtours.com
